Coming back from Austin
I’m at the airport waiting for my flight. For those of you guys that are curious to read some transcripts of the Austin Game Developers Conference (AGDC), here are a couple good sites:
The stories will move past the front page soon, so you’ll want to look through those links and bookmark anything interesting fast. In particular, I enjoy Raph Koster’s talk on Designing for Everywhere (click link for slides) which compares the engagement models for sites as diverse as Habbo, HotOrNot, Facebook Zombies, and everything else.
I was also able to catch a fun movie, called "King of Kong" about the competitive retro-gaming rivalry between two hardcore folks over the original Donkey Kong arcade game. Definitely worth watching.
YouTube version of trailer here.
More blogging when I’m back.
